FAQs


  • Eat before?
    • Not if you have a sensitive stomach. The motion can make some people nauseous. 

  • Drink before? 
    • Hell yes! Stay hydrated but don't over drink or you may get cramps. On hot days, drinking ice cold water also leads to cramps. 
    • Hydrate before and after!
    • 8 cups of water a day!

  • Should I run everyday?
    • Most people take a couple days off a week at least to recover. If you are just starting it can shock your body. You'll be sore as your body adjusts. However, if you are too sore, it can be a sign that you are moving too fast. If soreness turns to pain, take a break. 

  • Should I breathe?
    • Yes! Make sure you're breathing more from your diaphragm (belly, not chest) that will prevent side-stitches (cramps). 
    • You should exhale through your mouth and try to focus on exhaling fully, which will remove more carbon dioxide and also help you inhale more deeply.
